[Day: Wednsday, June 23rd. Time: 8:00 p.m.]
[You're all in the clubroom, the day after taking down the evil Mr.
Necromancer.]
[Did I say session start? No? Ok.]
[Session Start!]
* Chomei leans against the wall.
* Chie walks in and looks around. "Evenin', guys. Why so quiet?"
* Makoto leans against his favorite spot on the wall, next to the clubroom's
front door. He's folded his left arm lazily behind his back, and he spins his
yo-yo with his right. He's wearing a sky blue shirt--open and untucked--over a
light gray one, and his dark khakis are as heavily pocketed as ever.
It's a quiet day, I guess.
* Chie is wearing a dark blue tank top and dark blue jeans today. Guess she got
some of the laundry done.
* Maria sits on the wall near the window. She's reading a book! Slowly.
* Chomei 's wearing his standard fare. Nothing new, really.
* Rei sits on a desk, watching the yo-yo go up and down. Up and down. Yellow and
white-striped shirt, red windbreaker, green sneakers, blue socks, and black
shorts. She looks up and waves at Chie. "Hi! It's quiet 'cause I'm meditating on
the tranquility of the universe."
The universe has tranquility?
Ahh, I see. How tranquil is it today?
* Lazar stands near Peter's old desk, pacing. "So... what exactly happen last
night? I mean to ask, but I kind of distracted by having been pounded on."
* Makoto glances at Rei with a rather amused expression, but says nothing.
We ran up a lot of stairs, found the necromancer, Rei and I got zapped by
lightning, we fought the guy, and An- Asanjya summoned some sort of demon that
took the guy out.
* Rei grins. "Pretty tranquil, all considered. Like, uh, streams and birds and
watch the cat lapping the milk with the ball of yarn in the background?"
What he trying to do? Raise army of undead?
* Chomei nods. "Right."
Got it in one.
Demon? Thos're... wait, 'course they are. Nevermind.
* Chie stretches and walks over to Chomei. She leans against the wall next to
him.
Feh. Stupid necromancer. Puny skeletons and zombies no match for golem,
even after big skeleton use golem for... well, no punching bag. Glowing bag?
[There's a knack on the door. It's "Looks cool in shades." It's
written on a post-it note.]
[There's also a knock on the door. It's not written on anything, because
it's a sound.]
Maria, how're you feelin'?
* Rei turns to go back to watching the yo-yo, but gets distracted by the door.
"I'll get it!"
Uhg. Glowing.
* Makoto reaches out with his left arm and opens the door before Rei gets there.
* Chomei smiles at Chie. "You guys okay after that little fight last night?"
* Rei jumps to her feet and runs over, throwing it open.
Ah!
* Rei falls over in her attempt to open the thing. "Stupid... Makoto."
Stupid big skeleton no fight fair. Indead of hit, shoot glow thingee.
* Makoto snickers like one of those cartoon villains who isn't really a villain
at all, but just comic relief. Like Muttley. He helps Rei back to her feet.
* Chie grins back. "He messed with my hair. You do *not* mess with my hair. But
I managed to fix it just fine! And I'm still kinda tired, but other than that,
I'm okay."
[The door jams while the GM attempts to look something up! One sec!]
* Rei is helped. She uses this opportunity to thwap him upside the head. "Don't
do that!"
* Chomei smirks. "I'll remember that." He ruffles Chie's hair.
*looks over at Maria* Oh, almost forget... sorry I had leave you with
Matthias after fight over. Needed to go into house, make sure other little ones
no getting brains eaten or something.
Ack!
* Chie ducks and tries to straighten her hair. "Oh, I *so* walked into that one,
didn't I? And you're gonna get it for that, you realize." She's still grinning,
though.
* Chomei grins. "Am I?"
Yes. You are. But later, since I'm not feeling particularly vengeful at
the moment. But just you wait!
* Chomei whistles idly. "I'll be waiting."
* Rei perks and looks in Chomei 'n' Chie's direction. "Did somebody say...
revenge?"
* Chomei points at Chie with his thumb. "Yeah, she wants some cheap."
It's probably not the kind of revenge you'd want to handle, Rei.
Yes. But it's my revenge. All mine! I'm not sharing!
Really? What kind is it, then? Besides the kind I don't want to handle,
because that's pretty much a given- oh, that kind of revenge.
Oh. Well that's no fun.
* Rei folds her arms and pouts. "Nope."
* Makoto grins and shrugs. "Happens sometimes, you know. Especially in the
warmer months."
Oh, and it's alright, Laz. I didn't really mind at the time.
* Chie looks up at Chomei. "So, when're we gonna go do that shopping you were
talking about?"
* Rei also steps on Makoto's foot, tail twitching slightly.
Good, good. No want you think I leave you there to go get soda or
something. *grins*
Hmmm... Maybe tomorrow? One sound good?
[The door opens! Behind is a very, very handsome man with shoulder-
length white hair. He's wearing a loose black shirt and pants, black boots and,
believe it or not, a black cape. Did I mention how handsome he is? Oh, and his
eyes are red-on-black. Should mention that.]
Nnf.
Sure thing! It's a date, then.
* Bishi has joined #besm
* Chie winks at him, then turns and looks at the door. "Uh. Hi there?"
* Chomei smirks, then looks over at Bishi. "Red eyes. How cliche."
* Makoto looks over when the door opens. "Hi. Nice threads."
What her name... Xiang-Fei was fighting many zombies and skeletons.
Doing well, but outnumbered. But no could hurt golem, so I help sma- hmm? *eyes
the new person*
One at night, hopefully. Better deals then. *grin*
* Bishi waves. "Greetings. I represent an interested third party. Do you do
requests?"
* Makoto answers smoothly. "That depends on the nature of the request and the
amount of capital you're willing to front for our efforts."
* Chomei nods.
And whether it trap. No like traps.
Yes, definitely no traps. We charge triple for traps.
* Bishi chuckles. "Nah, it's not a trap. Well, not really."
* Maria eyes the Bishi. "Dunno. You got cash? And an inclination to at least
tell us who the third party is?"
So, what's the nature of your problem, mister..?
Not *really*? So is it a sort of trap? Semi-trap? Half baked trap with a
side of mushrooms?
Allow me to explain.
* Chie mutters. "Oh, yeah, I'll *bet* it's not really a trap."
* Makoto suppresses a grin at the girls' quips.
Explaining's good.
* Bishi flicks his wrists, and suddenly there's a photograph in his hand. He
holds it up so you can all see: It's Blight, the metal demon. "Recognize this?"
* Chomei shrugs.
... oy.
* Maria sidles over along the wall to get closer and hear better.
( Doctor Blight! )
( It's Blight, The Metal Pokemon! )
(I saw that coming.)
Of course you do.
* Rei blinks. "Yeah, if you're asking, you prolly know we do. So? You're gonna
send us to kill it? Because it's pretty nasty, and I need to work up a quick
oxidizing formula..."
Well, yes...
Yes, you want us to destroy it?
Or yes, it's nasty?
* Chie says quietly, "Not to mention the *last* time someone told us to kill it,
it was definitely a trap..."
( There's just one problem. It's immune to rust this time. :P )
* Bishi nods. "Recently, certain... impediments, have appeared for my colleagues
and myself. It would be to our mutual benefit if you were to eliminate this
monster and its creator." He holds up another photo of Kuro.
( Hah! )
(What about electricity?)
( Electricity Hastes iron golems. :P )
( Electricity hastes it. Just like-- yeah. )
* Chie narrows her eyes. "Go on..."
Is that what this is? The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
Looks like.
* Rei flicks her tail. "Is it any other way? Who're you, anyway?"
Oh, I don't think you really want an answer to that. Let's just leave it
as me being an interested third party, as I said.
* Chomei walks over to the door and closes it. "I think we do want the answer to
it."
Y'know, if you're actually a demon or something, you can just say so.
... if you interested, why no take care of metal thing youself?
* Rei regains her seat on the desk.
Seriously. We'd rather hear the truth.
* Bishi chuckles. "Well, I'm not exactly radiating light, am I?"
* Bishi looks over to Lazar. "Political issues."
Nope! So out with it. I... am... a demon! Well, I'm not, I don't think,
but you are? Are you?
Yeah, basically.
* Chomei shrugs.
... okay. So you get in trouble if you act against other demon, but no
if others do for you.
Cool. You're less annoying than the other demons I've met.
That's about right, yeah.
* Makoto watches the caped bishounen's eyes during the conversation, as if
trying to read some miniscule script in the man's pupils.
Huh.
No suppose you want make up for fact that we doing you dirty work by
telling us something useful about how fight stupid metal dog.
Lovely. Hell has political problems, too. Why does this not surprise
me?
* Chomei eyes the Bishi.
And Wingboy.
Fuckin' Batboy.
Naturally, you can't win against it as you are. But I can point you in
the right direction.
* Rei claps her hands. "Because it does! Demons are people, too. And politics
come with people. What direction's that?"
Explain, and no cryptic bullshit.
So long as that direction isn't down, I'm all ears.
Okay, now we getting somewhere...
* Bishi smiles at Chie. SSSmmmmiiiilllleee... and points down.
* Chie puts a hand to her forehead. "One of these days, I will learn when I
should keep my mouth shut."
* Chomei raises an eyebrow. "I'm not hearing words come out of your mouth,
demon."
So... it's on one of the lower floors?
( Dude, you're going to hell! )
* Bishi shrugs. "Ok, I'll make it obvious. You need to go to hell.
So many people have told me that. This is the first time it's been
literal.
... hmm. Go to hell. Need to ask rabbi about this next time I meet one.
No supposed to be hell.
* Chomei shrugs. "What's to keep us from getting ganked on the way?"
What? Look, my parents already went to Hell, and it wasn't the best
vacation spot in the world. You'd better have plenty of that phoenix
whateveritis so we can get back up without any problems.
* Chie looks at Rei. "Your... they did?"
...well, same to-- oh. You mean that literally.
Yeah! It was kinda important. Demons and their politics and everything.
That's right.
( "Oh, when I say hell, I mean Newark, by the way." "... that's even
worse." )
(*snerk*)
(Heh. Heheh.)
( I thought Hell was Detroit. )
Okay, so what in hell that going to help us beat metal demon thing?
( Or was it Harlem? )
(Um... Harlem.)
People.
(And Green Bay.)
( Harlem's not that bad anymore. )
* Makoto snorts at the bizarre... right-ness of what Lazar said.
People, huh? People of the sort we don't have up here?
And we can't get in contact with them some other way?
... people that give us information, or people that help us actually
fight?
( o/~ People... people that need people... o/~ )
* Bishi grins at Chie. "You could try looking up Hell in the phonebook, but I
doubt you'll get far."
There are other ways.
* Chie does not smile back.
No, the internet won't work either.
Please.
* Chie snorts and shakes her head.
So, how are we going, if we're going, and who are we gonna talk to,
exactly?
The Chinese
Okay. If we go there and do this thing, can you guarantee us a way back
to this nice mortal world that we've gotten so attached to?
* Chomei eyes the Bishi. "You have got to be shitting me."
...The Chinese?
Chie, I don't think we're allowed to open gates into the netherworld.
That's what demons and villains do.
* Makoto turns back to the demon. "No offense."
* Rei flicks her tail again. She doesn't seem particularly bothered by this.
* Chie eyes the demon. "The Chinese what?"
... what, we going to talk to Mao?
No. Around the year 500 B.C., a clan of Chinese warriors somehow found
itself in one of the hells and, not being able to get back out, settled there.
So technically, they're human.
Neat.
Interesting.
Whoopdi-fucking-doo.
The problem is, I certainly don't know where they are. But I know some
people who do.
Cool! So we're gonna meet a bunch of Chinese warriors from 500- yeah?
Right. These nice people? Someone we know, maybe?
Oh, no, those warriors have long since died. It's their descendants
you'll be seeing.
... okay. Let me see if get right. We go to hell. Talk to people who
know where other people are. Talk to those people. And Chinese people tell us...
So, to beat the metal demon, we have to go talk to the Chinese, and to
get to the Chinese, we have to talk to someone else? Do we have to go get water
from the moon while we're at it?
Although, since it IS hell, you might meet them anyhow.
No, that's next Wednesday.
* Lazar rubs his temples. "How Chinese warriors know how to beat metal demon?"
* Bishi shrugs. "There are always some demons willing to fight the humans, so
this clan has been constantly improving its weapons. That's what you're going
there to get."
So, tell me this. How is talking to someone in the depths of hell
supposed to make us able to kick that demon's butt?
Ah. Demon-killing weapons. That explains why you wouldn't be too keen
on finding them yourself.
... ah, I understand.
Ah. Makes sense.
I'd probably cut myself. But great for everyone else!
* Chomei shrugs.
Next question, like little one with tail say. How get there, and how get
back?
While I find this whole thing rather intriguing, I still want some kind
of reassurance that we're getting out of there with our souls intact.
You're on your own there.
Guess we're staying up on the live side, then.
Meaning, you'll get us there but from that point onward it's all up to
us?
* Chie mutters, "Or as intact as it apparently is."
... wow. You no very good at this 'make offer they no can refuse' thing.
Nope. You've got to figure out how to get there yourself.
* Maria sighs. "I think they mean transportation. Have you arranged for
transportation to hell and back?"
Handbaskets!
Hey, if you don't do it, it just means your world is screwed in a few
years.
...sorry, had to say it.
* Rei considers, then brightens. "I have an idea."
Oh yeah? Screwed how?
Metal demon kill everyone. Or something.
Well, obviously, your enemies are way ahead of you.
Other question; how do we pay for these weapons?
And yeah, there's no way in he- 'cuse me, on earth you could defeat that
thing with human weapons.
* Bishi shrugs at Maria. "Not up to me."
* Makoto looks at Maria. "We'll probably have to do something to help the
humans. I seriously doubt that they take Visa in hell."
So, what is our payment for these services?
... one more question. Aside from various nasty things what we might run
into... any specific nasty things what going to be coming after us?
As in people you know is going to try and stop us?
Great. Either that or I'll have to rob them. And I don't know if I wanna
do that, considering.
* Rei keeps thinking, not paying much attention to the rest of the conversation.
"In fact, I have two ideas! Awesome. I'm an idea making machine."
Because I really no want to go down there and find out that there
interested fourth party.
* Makoto slips away from the main conversation for a moment and sidles up to
Rei. "What kinds of ideas, cutie?"
* Bishi shurgs at Lazar. "Not unless your enemies are down there too."
With our luck...
It's hell. Of course there's gonna be enemies down there.
So nobody down there going to be specifically after us, aside from
general 'They demons in hell, they evil, attack humans' thing?
I'd be sorely dissapointed if there wasn't.
Not that I know of.
... well, that good to know.
And I know a lot.
... why you care if metal demon destroy world, though? I thought that
what all demons want. What matter who do?
* Rei looks up at Makoto and ticks off on her fingers. "Well, there's Asanjya.
She's got a connection to the demon world, and she's not trying to kill us or
anything." Second tick. "And there's my godmother, who lives in Hell." Beam.
... Right.
* Bishi shrugs at Lazar again. "You underestimate us, then.
Maybe he likes somewhere to vacation in.
Your godmother lives in hell? Oh, wait. Friend of Mister Ue--your
father's, right? From when he was doing what we're doing now.
Anyhow, you seem to know what you're doing, so I'll leave you alone.
* Bishi vanishes!
Godmother? Huh. Maybe she can give us directions.
Yeah, she was in Mystery Club.
Cool.
* Rei waves at the vanishing demon. "Bye!"
... oy. Things so much easier if Judaism right, and there no hell.
...man, that guy was unprofessional.
* Chomei rolls his eyes.
No shit.
Saying I don't like this would be one of the most massive understatements
ever.
That having been said... I don't like this.
*Really* don't like this.
Hate?
I thought he was pretty neat, as demons go. But not as cool as Bob.
Anyway, yeah, maybe we can get to Asanjya, see if she can't contact my
godmother, and find out if the story's true.
* Chie finally hears Rei. "Godmother?"
I just said that!
* Chomei snickers. "She just said that."
* Chie rubs her forehead. "Sorry. Got distracted. What's this about your
godmother?"
She lives in Hell. I just said that, too. Pay better attention, or I'm
going to have to fail you.
* Chie baps Chomei lightly on the arm and half-smiles at him. "Hey, I don't need
this from you, too."
... must make for interesting family parties.
Aww, Rei, don't make me go to summer classes.
So may I ask how you ended up with a godmother in Hell?
* Rei shakes her finger at Chie. "Only if you don't step up on your homework,
young lady."
Short story, short story...
* Chomei shrugs, then turns back on his serious face.
* Chie snickers. "Haven't done homework in years."
* Makoto mutters, half to himself. "I don't know what it meant, exactly. Maybe
it's just part of being a demon, but this guy was pissed."
* Lazar shakes his head. "Anyway. Rei right... talk to Asanjya good idea. But if
going do this, definately need wait a a day or two. No is fully healed from last
fight, and DEFINATELY no want to go into hell injured."
Anyhow, I'm listening.
Oh! She was an old friend of my dad's who turned out to be half-demon
turning into full-demon and eventually it happened, but she helped save the
world, so she can't be all that bad, right?
* Maria blinks. "Pissed?"
And she knew my mom, too. And my other mom.
Would Eoi-sensei have known her?
Yup!
Huh. Wonder what he'd have to say.
* Rei grins. "Probably the same thing."
( "Rei has two mommies. And a daddy. Get your mind out of the gutter,
perv." )
Wait. Did *he* go to hell with your parents and your godmother?
Only not as clear and concise as my version. Oh, sure did!
Why did he never *tell* me about these things?!
* Makoto nods, but waits until Rei finishes before responding to Maria. "Yeah,
full of rage, kind of thing. But it was far away. I'm guessing that the real
demon was still in hell or something."
Yeesh, what do they teach you kids these days. Buy 'em books and they eat
the covers.
* Chie looks mock-offended. "I never ate books. I just didn't use 'em much."
No was happy at having to get humans... and golems... to do dirty work
for him, Makoto?
I think it's more than that, Lazar.
A lot of demons love to twist the arms of mortals, bending them to
their will... It's an evil thing.
* Maria blinks at her book. "Eat the covers?..."
* Makoto nods at Lazar. "Probably. He wasn't mad at US, but he was mad, and
bitter. Whatever he was doing talking to us, it involved something he doesn't
like."
With ketchup. So, wanna go now?
Heh. I wonder if making a deal with humans is their equivalent saying to
our making a deal with the devil? Or devils, as the case may be.
And honestly? No, I don't want to go. But if most of you guys are
going, there's no way in he... the world that I'm letting you go off without me.
* Lazar holds up two fingers behind his head, mimicking devil horns.
* Chomei shrugs. "Well, we don't have any time to wast, do we?"
I'm pretty sure he's not baiting us. That's not to say we won't all
die, forgotten and alone in Hell, because we're doing what he said... but at
least that's probably not what he had in mind when he asked us to go to hell.
* Maria eyes the bookcover more, then shakes her head.
... it no sound like smart idea, but demon right when say we no can hurt
metal dog with what have.
* Maria phehs.
... though do still want try hit it with van, see what happens.
Nothing we did to it last time seemed to have any effect. Except
running away, that was useful.
I'm good at running away.
Yeah. I'm not even gonna *try* to hit it, thanks.
Except when I'm not. And I really do think we should get started soon or
now.
* Rei gets to her feet.
Sooner or later, though, stupid wing guy send metal dog after us. And
when happen, I like have weapons that can hurt.
* Chomei shrugs. "I never shot at it."
Sure.
* Chie sighs. "Onward, then."
* Maria shrugs. "How bad could hell be, anyway?"
( That was a phenomenally stupid question. )
Probably like Transylvania, but hotter.
I hear it's worse.
( I was thinking the same thing. )
( Depends on which one ^^ )
Worse food, too.
They feed you in hell?
Doubt it.
Well, if those are humans down there, they had to live somehow, right?
( Not stupid; incredibly uninformed. )
* Rei picks up her backpack and wanders out the door, to her bike. Might as well
get this show on the road.
Point. Maybe they eat hell-cows and demon mushrooms.
* Lazar nods at Rei. "I saying there probably no trained cooks in hell... well,
ones that no cooking eyeballs of damned."
* Rei calls back, "Never underestimate the demon mushrooms!"
* Chomei looks at Chie. "Well, looks like we're on the road again..."
* Makoto grins and follows Rei outside.
C'mon Lazar!
At least in Transylvania, could find people what could cook good deer.
And potatoes?
* Maria follows Rei and hops onto the back of her bike. Better her than some
other poor soul.
* Chie looks up at Chomei. "Yeah, I guess so." She doesn't look happy at all.
Then she reaches out and grabs his hand, squeezes it for a second, and then
heads out.
* Lazar nods, and follows the others out. He slips on his demon bracers as he
does. Why? Because he's from Transylvania, and he's PARANOID. =P
( Chie breaks Chomei's fingers! :P )
(This is Chie, Brett, not Satoshi. ;p)
( No, that'd be if Lazar squeezed Chomei's hand. )
* Rei gets on her bike and flips it on. She gives Makoto a thumbs up, waves at
Chie (who probably just came out) and rockets off with Maria.
* Chomei follows her, having squeezed back as a reaction. "Nothing in hell's
gonna stop us."
I hope you're right... I really do.
( I scared! Hold me, Chomei! *jumps into Chomei's arms*
... eep. *is smushed* )
(Heh.)
(*chuckles*)
[Time: 9:30. You reach Asanjya's House of Pancak.... *ahem* Asanjya's
house. It looms as much as ever. *LOOM*]
( Hehe. )
Nice place.
* Chomei would loom back if he was Laz.
* Rei screeches to a halt. "I think so! But, like I said, could use more color."
I think maybe we knock before go in this time. Seems like be good to be
polite if asking person to take us to Hell.
* Chie parks her bike and takes her helmet off. "I hope they fixed the lock."
* Makoto pulls up in front of the house and kills the engine. "Some day I'll
have a house that's nothing like this," he says to Lazar before getting out of
the car.
And knocking is probably a good idea.
* Rei takes off her helmet, wanders over to the door, and is nice enough to ring
the doorbell, knock, maybe both.
* Maria hops off of Rei's bike, depositing her helmet.
* Chomei takes his helmet off too, stashing it. "Yeah..."
* Lazar gets out of the car. He does not knock, because accidentally punching a
hole in someone's door is just downright rude.
* Chie hops off her bike, much less enthusiastically than she usually would, and
walks to the house.
[You knock and ring the doorbell, rather than smash down the door.]
* Asanjya opens the door. She's whitefaced, wide-eyed and breathing heavily.
"Right, you guys. Come on in."
* Chie blinks. "Hey, you okay?"
* Chomei steps off the bike and walks up.
* Maria blinks. "You okay?"
Not to state the obvious but... You don't look so hot.
( ...dude. )
( By whitefaced, I assume you don't mean 'painted up like a mime'. =P )
Perfectly okay. I just had a Lord of Hell drop by to tell me you guys
were on your way, that's all.
Oh. Which one?
* Asanjya walks into the house, wiping off her brow.
* Maria blinks.
Wow. We're important now.
* Rei wanders after her without so much as a how-do-you-do. So much for
politeness.
Bishi, red on black eyes, dressed in all black?
Yeah. Lucifer.
* Makoto enters the house last, out of habit, and closes the door behind him.
Figures. We just got a visit from him.
Oh, *that's* Lucifer. For some reason, I always figured he'd be bigger,
or something.
Oh, is that who that was?
What, you guys know him?
That's what he said. Need to get to hell, right?
( Well, he *was* handsome. )
And we need to get out when we're done, too.
I thought he'd have horns and a forked tail myself.
Right! I thought maybe we could talk to my godmother about doing that,
since she lives there and comes back and forth and everything.
But, hey, I guess we shouldn't believe the stereotypes, should we?
He does. When he's in the right form.... well, I'd need to know your
godmother's true name, Rei.
Chelsea Taltos. I think maybe I can come up with a blood type if you give
me long enough.
That wasn't his actual body. It was a shell, or a projection, or
something. His emotions were too distant for it to be the real him. If demon
emotions work even remotely the same as human emotions, anyway.
... Right.
Weird.
* Asanjya heads on down the stairs to her room, turning on lights as she goes.
* Maria follows, looking for valuables as she goes.
* Lazar mutters as he walks. "That Lucifer? I thought he be... taller."
Lazar, he's probably ACTUALLY as big as the Tokyo Tower, if it makes
you feel better.
* Rei grabs Makoto's hand and ambles after Asanjya. "Why'd you want to be as big
as Tokyo Tower?"
* Chomei shrugs.
* Makoto takes Rei's hand without pause. "I think he just shows up like that so
the people he talks to don't lose focus by pissing themselves."
* Chie sighs and starts going downstairs.
( So you could knock it down, like Godzilla )
(RAAAAR!)
* Chomei walks down the stairs too.
* Makoto goes downstairs whenever Rei does.
Good idea.
Actually, would make me feel better if he two inches tall and made of
glass.
